There's nothing sadder than getting to the end of your life and saying, 'I didn't do it right'.

My politics are just inclined to be empathetic and humanistic. I grew up with so many different kinds of people with different politics, different religion, no religion, no politics, education, no education, and I was infatuated with all of them.

I think life is perverse. It can be beautiful, but it won't.

When I've had a meltdown, people will say to me, "Well, you failed to keep your sense of humor."

The best mind-altering drug is the truth.

I'm not a religious person. I don't have any desire. To me it's imitative of a conventional culture. I'm all for it for anybody. I totally have a free and open feeling about how other humans want to live their lives. It's just not something that has any real significance for me.

I wanted to be a stage actress. I wanted to be a New York actress and have a community with other actors. I didn't want to get famous; I always thought getting famous was a drag on you.
